– JONNIE VIGAR, CREATIVE DIRECTOR, CONTAINER and LEIF PRODUCTS
“Having worked with the UMENCO team on the placement of two critical roles at Helen Kaminski, I cannot be happier with the final result. Angela and her team have shown an uncanny ability to grasp the intricacies of the skill sets required for each of the roles and, more importantly, a clear understanding of our complex culture. The shortlist included a mix of candidates that were an exact match to the original brief, as well as a few that challenged us to explore outside of the square.
We would not have been able to find such outstanding talent through more conventional recruitment measures. I am ever grateful to the team at UMENCO for this, and to Angela in particular for her ever positive and uplifting energy, as well as her sustaining professionalism.”
